Boston theater company fall productions

Posted on August 29, 2023 | 3 comments

At the close of each summer, I like to promote local theater comanies and their upcoming fall productions to remind people of the vibrant (and underrated) theater community here in Boston. I hope this post will encourage you to support Boston’s local theater community. One advantage of supporting these theater companies is that ticket prices are more affordable than the national touring companies that come through Boston.

Below I’ve shared 2023/2024 season opening productions of several (not all) Boston theater companies. The shows are listed in order of opening dates and include links for more information.

Central Square Theater || Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes
September 7 – October 8, 2023

The Huntington || Prayer for the French Republic
September 7 – October 8, 2023

The American Repertory Theater (A.R.T.) || The Half-God of Rainfall
September 8 – September 24, 2023

Boston Lyric Opera || Madama Butterfly
September 14 – September 24, 2023

SpeakEasy Stage || POTUS: Or Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying To Keep Him Alive
September 15 – October 15, 2023

Lyric Stage Company || Assassins
September 15 – October 15, 2023

Tickets to these shows make for a great ‘date night’ or night out with friends. Make plans now to catch a show later this fall. You’ll have a great time and your support will mean everything to these very worthy, local theater companies.
